Daughter Miriam has been sick lately and cannot eat anything in the pepper or lily families— no chili powders, garlic, leeks, onion, or peppers (even bell peppers). This has made Sunday dinners quite a challenge lately. I decided to barbecue some tri-tip this Sunday and I thought a cold vegetables salad would go well with the beef.

Note: My followers may have noticed that I have not been posting as much lately. My wife is off from teaching for the Summer and she decided that it was a good time to clear out the garage. Oh, joy! Going through boxes that have not been opened in twenty years. While I have still been making new dishes, I have fallen behind in writing them up.
